And within the first couple of months, we were communicating pretty effectively just through knowing each other and creating our own signs. And it's funny, because she's verbal now (mostly) but she started signing a few weeks ago. Presumably she picked it up at daycare. But she will sign "eat" while she says the word ; ) ~lmclisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643921479273054853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852496254093254902.post-88594354629521312182008-12-10T19:05:00.000-08:002008-12-10T19:05:00.000-08:00I know that broke your heart, but we all do it.

We your readers are as addicted to the QQ as you are. Inquiring minds want to know! I am glad she has taken these steps, soon she will be running all over the house. Enjoy the baby she still very much is and know that great things come with age as well. It is a wonderful time in our lives with our little ones.

I think that because the children didn't have much interaction while in the orphanages, they tune in with other senses to compensate (auditory, sensorty,etc) especially because she also had the clp issue. <BR/>I'm telling you within a month or so, she'll be walking and fast, so get your running shoes out!<BR/><BR/>Oh I love kissing K's cheeks! It's irrisitable!<BR/><BR/>IvyIvy Shafferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103562422996143435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852496254093254902.post-22146790669888184502008-12-09T06:17:00.000-08:002008-12-09T06:17:00.000-08:00LOVE to hear about your sweet girl! and how she is...LOVE to hear about your sweet girl! and how she is obviously falling in love with you as completely and unabashedly as you are with her :)Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929186829748543826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852496254093254902.post-26699759162474863902008-12-09T04:41:00.000-08:002008-12-09T04:41:00.000-08:00It's amazing how much they do understand - and how...It's amazing how much they do understand - and how early that happens! She sounds like she is doing so well - and that she is ripe for sign language! Are you guys doing any with her yet? It really was so great for FF - - and she still uses it as back up when she can't pronounce something clear enough for us to understand.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174671099436752890noreply@blogger.com
